Volunteer: CASA Training for Volunteer Child Advocates (RI Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children)

CASA volunteer child advocates needed!

You can make a life-changing difference for an abused or neglected child!  The RI Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children program (CASA) is constantly seeking volunteers who can give 8 - 10 hours a month to provide a voice for children in DCYF care who are also represented by the CASA program.  Due to COVID-19, we are not running our usual schedule of in person trainings, we are considering dates for future trainings at this time.  Safety considerations are always paramount.  

CASA advocates within the court system for children who, through no fault of their own, find themselves involved with the Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) and the Family Court.   CASA works on behalf of children's best interests, to prevent them from falling through the cracks of the child welfare system that was put in place to help them.  Our volunteers are the eyes and ears of the court, visiting with children, reporting on their well-being, and ensuring that they receive necessary services.

Volunteers must complete background checks and a personal interview, in addition to the 30-hour training program. After training, volunteers are sworn in by the Court and work with CASA attorneys for the duration of their selected case.  Our volunteers play a unique role in a child's life, often becoming the only consistent adult in a child's life while their case is open in Family Court. 

Help a child thrive! You can help break a cycle of abuse or neglect for a child. 

Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis.  To obtain an application with information about training, and to learn more about CASA, please visit the RI Family Court CASA homepage at: https://www.courts.ri.gov/Courts/FamilyCourt/Pages/Court Appointed Special Advocate.aspx,

Volunteer: Advocacy & Policy Committee member

The Rhode Island Black Business Association’s (RIBBA) historic and groundbreaking work in the advocacy and policy space has created awareness of the plight of small businesses in Rhode Island. Still, more advocacy is needed to ensure greater support and investment in the development of small businesses that are the backbone of the state’s economy. Black businesses are closing at an alarming rate due to the pandemic and unemployment is at an all-time high in urban cities around our state. The PPP – Paycheck Protection Program, IELD – Economic Injury Disaster Loans, and COVID-19 Relief funds have all missed the Black business Community.

About the position

Your involvement in this committee will advance our agenda from a legislative perspective around small business, education, pay equity, health, jobs, housing, food insecurity, and our general democracy. Apply to join RIBBA’s Advocacy & Policy and have a significant impact on the legislation and policies that affect every intricate part of our personal, business, and community well-being.
